Celebrating Australians on the Global Stage 🌏 Advance Global Australians was delighted to co-host a special evening with Cassandra Bird Gallery, featuring a private viewing of Dawn Chorus by acclaimed artist Gene A'Hern in Sydney. Gene was recently awarded the prestigious Sir John Sulman Art Prize by the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Based in Katoomba, Gene's work has gained international recognition with exhibitions at Hill House at Simchowitz in Los Angeles, Color Coded at Bode Gallery in Berlin, and solo shows in Copenhagen, Sydney, and Los Angeles. Gene A’Hern, Cassandra Bird Gallery, and Fabian Jentsch have been great supporters of Australians on the global stage, contributing to Advance Global Australian events and regularly amplifying the achievements of others in our community. Events like these are part of our mission to back Australians around the world and our commitment to connecting, empowering, and championing our people — both abroad and on their return home. As always, the evening sparked new opportunities and collaborations, with people offering support to one another — professionally and personally — in the true spirit of mateship. With thanks to our event partners, Cassandra Bird Gallery and Aristotelis Ke Anthoula for making it possible.

🇦🇺 One million Australians live and work overseas — and they’re one of our greatest untapped national assets. Advance Global Australians welcomed the opportunity to contribute to the Economic Reform Roundtable with a submission focused on boosting national productivity through global talent. Our submission highlights three key opportunities: harnessing global knowledge and skills of Australians overseas and returning, deepening international collaboration and driving commercialisation, as well as modernising skills pathways to meet the demands of a global economy. 📄 Drawing on insights from our 2025 Global Australian Report, daily engagement with our community worldwide, and trends emerging through our programs, the submission outlines practical ways to: ✅ Utilise Australians living & working overseas as a strategic asset in key markets ✅ Integrate the Global Diaspora into the National Innovation Strategy ✅ Facilitate Global Skills Development & Knowledge Sharing ✅ Establish a Career Pathway Program for returning Australians Our not for profit is proud to back Aussies around the world.
